Grill's
« on: 24 July 2010, 13:23 »
Not as in "Lean mean fat grilling machine"

Although i want it to look SO good that "I put my name on it!"  :laugh:

Erm.. yeah

Badgeless or mesh?

Im feeling very "hands on" today and the missus is at work  :smug: so im touching the car up instead.

Just went out and changed the side light bulbs to led's and will fit the xenon bulbs for the headlights later.

I really wanna change the front look of the car and the first step is with the grill..


So the question is badgeless grill or mesh mine up?

I've seen a few mesh ones but me personally i'm not a fan! The only bonus is that it's not as common as the badgless grille.

A proper Kamei mesh grill looks sweet with the right mods but they are expensive and other mesh grills tend to fit like crap. Badgeless grilles look great on an aggressive car. Another option would be black badges or spray the slats blacks.

Badgeless

but black slats and colour coded badge would look good. Don't think I've seen that done either

There's an entire merchandise range reminding people to spray the bottom part, so yes   :grin:
